Overview

Throughout the work of Kaari Upson, the home and the body are persistent themes, from her earliest installations and sculptures from “The Larry Project” to her later series drawn from the contents of her childhood home. House to Body Shift explores how the late artist delved into the rich connections between our selves and our domestic surroundings, both physically and psychologically and across familial generations. As with artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Robert Gober and Paul McCarthy before her, the home in Upson’s practice becomes a surreal site of trauma, memory and intrigue.
